From Florida-
The story of Lawson Cook truly is a Christmas miracle.
That’s why it’s so appropriate that he played Baby Jesus in the Christmas Eve pageant at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea.
Last year at this time, his mother, Ejola Christlieb Cook, was five weeks pregnant and directing the pageant for the first time. Following the dress rehearsal, Cook ended up at Good Samaritan Medical Center, fearing she was having a miscarriage. The doctor found a heartbeat, and Cook was ordered on bed rest for a few days.
However, that wasn’t Cook’s last miscarriage scare. There were a few more throughout the pregnancy. Luckily, she delivered a healthy baby boy four months ago.
It just so happens that Lawson is the perfect age to play the Baby Jesus.
“For him to be here and play Jesus is huge for me,” Cook said. “There were quite a few times that we thought we might lose him, so he is my miracle baby.”
More than 50 children took part in this year’s Christmas Pageant, which came to life during Saturday’s 4 p.m. service.
